                            EXHIBIT 99

USAIR STATEMENT ON UNITED AIRLINES DECISION 

     ARLINGTON, Va., November 13, 1995 -- USAir Group Inc. said
today that it will move ahead with plans to continue transforming
its network and cutting its cost structure.

     "This industry will change in the years ahead; that is
inevitable," USAir Chairman and CEO Seth E. Schofield said.  "And
this airline will be ready and fit to play a leading role in that
change."

     "With our return to profitability, we now are able to focus
more closely on the transformation of our route structure and
continuing cost rationalization.  These are the things that will
position us to remain in the ranks of the profitable.  Our talks
with United, while important, were but one of several long-term
strategic alternatives being examined."

     Schofield noted that one of the things that the recent round
of merger discussions made clear on Wall Street and elsewhere is
that the "USAir franchise is sound and has significant value."

     "Business is good.  Load factors are setting records month
after month.  Our on-time record is in the industry's top tier. 
And we have both the customer base and the technological and
management infrastructure to keep us in the forefront as industry
transformation takes place," Schofield said.
